51 Disformal Transformation Nathalie Deruelle and Josephine Rua (2014), Domènech et al. (2015) One obtains the same dynamics (the same Einstein equations), if instead of varying the Einstein-Hilbert action with respect to the metric g µ one plugs in a disformal transformation (Bekenstein 1993) g µ = F (,w) `µ + H (,w)@ w = w 2 with and H + w 6= 0 and varies with respect to `µ,
